Do You Prefer Calling Me Senior Sister? Or Your Senior Sister!

Night, A gentle breeze blew in the wind.

Dreamlike mist swirled all around.

The sly moonlight hid behind the clouds, quietly watching the young man and woman below.

Looking ahead.

The Cold and Aloof Girl's pretty face was flushed red, her clear eyes dazed, her cold gaze melting like water, reflecting the young man's figure like autumn pools, with no room left in her eyes for anyone else...

At this moment.

Her shape quietly began to change.

Gradually, it had already taken the form of Ye Changfeng.

"Senior Sister Lu?"

A call echoed in her ears.

The Cold and Aloof Girl slowly came back to her senses. She lifted her eyes to look at the young man before her, and her pretty face suddenly flushed red...

Woo~

He was kind of handsome.

Ye Changfeng's figure was tall and straight, clad in a fluttering white robe, black hair cascading over his shoulders, with sword-like brows and starry eyes.

His handsome face bore a faint smile under the moonlight, and a pair of eyes that could look at a dog with deep affection stared intently at Lu Xueqi, the heat in them utterly unconcealed.

"I, I..."

The Cold and Aloof Girl began to stammer.

She was just an innocent maiden, her nature cold and aloof, utterly clueless about romance—her Master had never taught her this, boohoo...

Lu Xueqi nervously twisted the fabric of her dress at her thighs.

Her pretty face was unusually flushed, and her clear eyes dared not meet Ye Changfeng's gaze, for fear she would fall for him on the spot...

After all.

The two of them weren't even on the same level.

He was her future Husband, had just saved her in a heroic rescue, and now, meeting under the moonlight, he threw out that look of deep affection like a confession in response...

Who could withstand that?!

At this moment.

Lu Xueqi's CPU was about to burn out.

She was so dazed she didn't know how to speak, her words stumbling and halting, like a Human-Machine Girl...

"Heh heh."

Ye Changfeng let out a soft laugh.

He couldn't help but lean in, raising both hands, and under the Human-Machine Girl's bewildered stare, he pinched her tender cheeks hard.

Naiqi was so cute.

"You..."

The Human-Machine Girl's pretty face flushed slightly.

She puffed up her cheeks and slapped Ye Changfeng's hands away.

Talk if you're going to talk!

Why do you have to use your hands?

...Could it be that you just weren't talking?!

Lu Xueqi huffed and took a step back.

Her clear eyes seemed to regain their indifference, and she spoke at a normal pace: "My injuries are mostly healed."

Her gaze and tone sounded cold.

But...

Only if you ignored her flushed cheeks.

Who threatens someone with a red face?

Ye Changfeng let out a soft laugh.

He shook his head and said, "Senior Sister Lu, can you keep this a secret?"

"Keep it a secret..."

Lu Xueqi knew he was talking about his identity.

But she didn't quite understand.

Why keep it a secret? Wouldn't it be better to just say it outright?

"Yes."

Lu Xueqi nodded.

Then, she hesitated, as if wanting to ask something but holding back.

Clearly, she was curious about why Ye Changfeng was hiding his identity.

Ye Changfeng noticed the Human-Machine Girl's curiosity.

He explained, "There are spies from the Demonic Cult within Qingyun Sect. If my identity were exposed, it would likely cause no end of trouble..."

"What!?"

Lu Xueqi was stunned.

Spies from the Demonic Cult within Qingyun Sect!?

This...

How could this be!?

She looked at Ye Changfeng in shock.

Ye Changfeng glanced around, then reached out and took Lu Xueqi's hand, pulling her toward a more secluded spot. "Let's find a place to sit and talk slowly."

Hearing this.

Lu Xueqi was momentarily dazed.

She lowered her gaze to their joined hands, and her pretty face flushed again...

But.

She didn't pull away.

Instead, she let Ye Changfeng lead her along.

Just like a human-machine...

Ye Changfeng guided Lu Xueqi to a nearby set of steps and sat down. There was an obstacle blocking them, concealing their figures.

Then, Ye Changfeng explained, "The fact that the Demonic Cult assassin managed to infiltrate the Moon Gazing Platform a while back should mean a spy fed them our Qingyun Sect's patrol routes. Otherwise, there's no way to explain how the assassin could slip into the Seven Peaks undetected..."

Lu Xueqi was taken aback.

As she listened to the information Ye Changfeng revealed, a massive upheaval stirred within her heart.

For a moment, she even forgot to tell Ye Changfeng to let go of her hand.

"Does Sect Leader Uncle-Master know about this?"

Lu Xueqi couldn't help but ask.

Ye Changfeng pondered briefly.

He held the Cold and Aloof Girl's slender hand and explained, "Sect Leader Uncle-Master should know."

"As for the other Peak Master Uncles, they probably don't."

After all...

The spy was one of the Peak Masters.

Hearing this.

Lu Xueqi breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought back carefully and indeed found that assassination over a month ago was highly suspicious. On the surface, the Demonic Cult seemed to have come in haste, but they were well-prepared...

To plan such an assassination in such a short time!?

Without a spy's help, it would have been impossible!

Lu Xueqi fell silent.

Just then.

She came back to her senses a little, lowered her gaze to her hand tightly clasped with Ye Changfeng's, and her pretty face couldn't help but redden. Her voice was barely audible as she said:

"Can you let me go now?"

"Hmm?"

Ye Changfeng seemed to just realize.

He smiled and released his grip.

"Can I ask you a question?"

Lu Xueqi seemed to think of something. She blinked her cold eyes, crouched beside him, and looked at Ye Changfeng with curiosity.

"What question?"

Ye Changfeng raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Your current cultivation..."

Lu Xueqi's lips pressed together slightly.

Her eyes were filled with curiosity.

"Cultivation?"

Ye Changfeng raised an eyebrow, pondering for a moment. "It shouldn't be long before I break through to Late Shangqing."

He had been settled at Late Shangqing for some time now. If he could later obtain the First Volume of the Heavenly Book from the Blood Dripping Cave on Kongsang Mountain, breaking through to Late Shangqing would naturally fall into place...

"Ah!?"

The Cold and Aloof Girl's eyes went wide.

She couldn't help but part her rosy lips, her astonished expression revealing the turmoil within her heart.

About to break through to Late Shangqing?

Ye Changfeng had only been cultivating for five years, hadn't he?!

This...

Lu Xueqi felt a pang of discouragement.

But then she reconsidered.

The Heavenly Curtain's evaluation of Ye Changfeng was so high; this speed of cultivation was only normal. Besides...

This was her future husband.

Lu Xueqi's heart began to fill with joy again.

But, Just then.

She suddenly thought of Tian Ling'er.

The moment Lu Xueqi recalled how Ye Changfeng and Tian Ling'er had been practically pressed together during the day, Her heart grew a little unhappy.

Was this jealousy?

Lu Xueqi wasn't sure.

After all, her temperament was rather cold and aloof.

She knew nothing about matters of the heart.

Right now, she only wanted to ask Ye Changfeng one question.

"You..."

"Earlier, I asked why you called me Senior Sister, and you said you liked it. Do you like calling me Senior Sister, or..."

"Do you like your Senior Sister?!"
